High-Performance HDPE Fiber Duct for FTTx, 5G & Telecom Networks in KSA & Gulf
Smart cities’ quick population and tech advancements, together with the telecom upgrades and the rollout of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) connectivity across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain, have all been the substantial factors that sought the high-performance microduct networks.
The modern telecommunication infrastructure demands are:
The MicroDuct 4 Way Flat 20/16 mm system is tailored to meet these requirements.
It is widely adopted in:
Using a design of multiple ducts arranged in a clustered manner, it is possible to allow a number of micro cables to be installed through separate paths in a condensed and flat duct layout—so the trench width and installation footprint are reduced while fiber density is increased at the same time.
Hence, the microduct system is an ideal option for telecom contractors, utility authorities, and infrastructure developers in the Gulf region.
The MicroDuct 4 Way Flat 20/16 mm consists of four individual 20/16 mm microducts integrated into a flat, unified duct block.
Each duct provides an independent pathway for:
micro-fiber optic cables
blown fiber units
mini-cables or sub-duct routes
The outer protective sheath ensures:
mechanical durability
crush resistance
environmental protection
UV stability for desert climates
The internal surface is coated with a low-friction, silicone-based inner lining, allowing fiber cables to be:
blown over longer distances
with minimal friction
reduced air pressure
lower installation effort
This design ensures stable performance across aerial, direct-buried, and duct-in-duct applications.
